On The Mend

More sunshine and resting today.

I am feeling much better this evening.

I made a tomato and vegetable soup today.

Ingredients (which I made up):

• 8 tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 1/3 red capsicum
• 1/2 zucchini
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 carrot
• 1 potato
• 1/2 orange
• 6 strawberries
• 1/4 cup cranberries
• 2 inches fresh turmeric grated
• 1 inch ginger grated
• 2 chillies
• 2 teaspoons mineral salt
• A generous shake of black pepper
• 1/4 cup brown sugar 
• 1/2 cup lentils
• 2 cups home chicken broth
• 4 cups filtered water

Put it all in a large pot on the stove. Simmer for 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally. Allow to cool. Use tongs to remove tomato skins then, in batches, blend in the blender. It will be thick and creamy. Toast some sour dough bread, break apart and toss into the soup.

Adoring Husband had some for lunch, requested it for dinner and then went back for more a couple of hours later!

BGWLBH also enjoyed a large bowl for dinner.

I had a big bowl for lunch and there is one container of it now in the freezer.

We’ve all had a very healthful eating day.

I’m considering heading into the bay tomorrow - I’ll see how I feel in the morning. I may need another day of rest yet.

I watched the most recent version of “Don’t tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” and quite enjoyed it.

Now it’s almost 11pm so I’d best get some sleep. I slept a solid 7 hours last night and I hope to do the same tonight.

Nite all.
